Disappointing.

Was looking forward to the fair diaries. They don't seem to have happened this year.

Does anyone know if ISP pays in the same ballpark as ASP?

That's the one that seems to be advertising at the moment in TES Online.

Not now that I've put my feet up and got the popcorn.

Happy to watch the show.

Any clues as to where that was? Sounds like a place I want to avoid for, like, ever...

It was nice that Guy came on here to defend himself, though.

The poster states that they are on 35,000 in the UK, but once you take out the tax (let's say 25% as a round figure, would be far more in countries like Germany) the figure is 27,500. So, if the salaries are tax-free that are being offered then they would be about the same.

It's what you give up when you leave, and what other aspects relate to working abroad (savings, travel etc.,) that need to be looked at as to whether it will be worth it or not.

There are no reviews on this school, yet it's over a decade old.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies.

FineDude. Thanks for the response. Does that mean these schools don't hire British/NZ/Aus teachers? I am kind of looking for a truly international school. not just those with North Americans. Don't these exist? Are there only American or British or Canadian schools? I was thinking of these places as I was told they were truly international, rather than just one nationality-driven.

PsyGuy - Nice reply. However, what do you mean by -
9) .25 pt - Special Populations (Must be qualified)
10) .25 pt - Special Skill Set (Must be documentable AND marketable)
?Also, what kind of coordinator qualifies?

Thanks, and sorry for the dumb questions.

I was told that all these schools are highly sought after, and they have many applicants applying for any position.

What would a teacher need to have a chance at getting a position at one of these schools? Taking into account not knowing anybody working there etc. What do these schools look for?

Thanks,
MartElla

Sorry to be another one on the list but...could you PM me as well, please?
